Can a ball change the world?

Why is it important to give sports opportunities to homeless and socially disadvantaged people?

Why is it important to give sports opportunities to homeless and socially disadvantaged people?

Sport is fun and therefore not a first priority neither to homeless and socially disadvantaged people nor to society to provide these opportunities. However study shows that a high intensive sport like street soccer has a significant impact on improving the general health among a target group with a poor physical condition. But even more interesting are the social and psychological effects street soccer has on every player, an effect that for many proves to be life- changing.

Opposing forces are at the core of all energy and evolution. Plus and minus, high and low, pros and cons. Our identities and societies are created in a constant flux of motion, opinion, reflection and we find new paths forward, but mostly when opposing forces demand us to reflect – or to deflect.On September 26th, 2013 we’ll be opening the doors to this year’s main event where we’ll be presenting more great ideas worth sharing.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

Our event is called TEDxCopenhagen, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxCopenhagen event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.

The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
